Engineering Career News & Tips for November 19, 2014
This
week's collection of career-related articles and news tidbits includes a topic I've never seen before: "Been
Arrested? How to Survive Background Checks and Land a Job." I suppose if you've done time in The Big House,
legitimately paid your debt to society, and are truly reformed, then there's no reason you shouldn't have a fair
shot (maybe poor choice of words depending on your crime) at a job you are
otherwise qualified for. There's also an article on attire color choices for interviews - you might need more
than a red power tie.
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
